| dc.description | Road transport contributes a significant amount of small particles, especially in cities where transport is estimated to contribute more than 50 % of these particles.
These small particles are dangerous when we breathe them, and are a leading cause of various diseases including heart attack and stroke, cancer, aggravated asthma and premature death.
The World Health Organization estimated in 2012 that 7 million people die annually dues to air pollution, with half of this number – 3.7 million people - attributed to these small particles. | en_US |
